Me I am a PS2 owner, and for Christmas or earlier i would like to get a new console, either the xbox or the GCN.

Ive done research on the Xbox, it sounds good, but can you GCN fans persuade me into getting a Nitendo Gamecube? What has it got that is better than the Xbox? Why is it worth getting? Will my gaming needs be satisifed with this console?

One thing I like about this is that Freeloader allows you to play games without chiiping the console, which is good for cheap imports.

Please Help!!

Yeah, but I found they were easier to get used to than the PS2's. Probably the inticate controller design.

Hmmmmm, 100 squid sounds good! But the price its at now, is worth buying. Just played Super Monkey Ball for the first time, at Dixons LOL, its alot similar to Crash Bash. But Super has better graphics, and the load times are fast. It was fun though, but I was a bit confused with the controls,(too much PS1/2).

That it certainly is, but it has a naff multiplayer mode. The great thing about the GC Frontline game is that it will have 2-4 multiplayer support, which will be ace. I remember spending ages playing the 2 player mode of the first two MOH games on the PS1, it was great. Can't wait to see what a 4-player game will be like.

If you do get a GameCube, da_1_n_only (and we've given you almost every reason to) why not get the Super Mario Sunshine pack? It's out on October 4th and for a drastically discounted price you get the GameCube and controller, Super Mario Sunshine and an Official Memory Card.

Great value.

There's no need to explain yourself, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it.
